Our Beginnings

Founder Cesar Diaz began selling California auto insurance policies from multiple brick-and-mortar locations in the 1990s. In 2005, his development of OnlineAutoInsurance.com gave consumers an auto insurance comparison tool with the ability to purchase a policy online.

In 2010, the popularity of online quote comparisons grew, and, as a result of user demand, Online Auto Insurance began offering rates from even more carriers on a national level. Today, we provide millions of visitors each year the ability to compare quotes online from a large variety of carriers.
